Navigating the immigration process requires careful planning and informed decision-making. Below is an outline of how services are provided, from the initial consultation to the completion of a case.
The first step in receiving immigration guidance is scheduling a consultation with a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC-IRB).
Appointments can be booked by completing an online form or sending an email inquiry.
Consultations are available in person, over the phone, or via video call, depending on location and preference.
A confirmation email will include appointment details and any necessary instructions.
Please note that all consultations are paid, with payment details provided in advance.
During the consultation, the RCIC-IRB will review the details of the case, explore available options, and provide professional guidance tailored to the situation.
In cases where multiple pathways exist, the benefits and challenges of each approach will be explained.
If moving forward with an application, an outline of costs and next steps will be provided.
To proceed with representation, a formal service agreement must be signed.
This document outlines the scope of services, associated fees, and expectations for both parties.
It is essential to review the agreement carefully and seek clarification on any points before signing.
Various costs are involved in the immigration process, including:
Professional fees – Charges for services provided, which may be structured as a flat fee or billed hourly.
Government processing fees – Payments required by immigration authorities to process applications, which are separate from professional fees.
Additional costs – Expenses such as document translation, photocopying, courier services, or other administrative requirements.
A breakdown of applicable fees will be included in the service agreement.
Once submitted, applications are reviewed by government agencies such as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).
The processing timeline is determined by the respective authority, and while status inquiries may be made on behalf of the applicant, delays are beyond external control.
Estimated processing times can be checked on the official IRCC website.
After signing the service agreement, a customized list of required documents will be provided.
These may include identification, financial records, letters of support, or other evidence.
Submitting complete and high-quality documentation is essential to strengthening an application.
There are two types of documents:
Mandatory documents – Required by the government for application processing. Missing these may result in immediate rejection.
Supporting documents – Additional evidence that, while not strictly required, can significantly improve the likelihood of success.
Detailed instructions on document format and submission methods will be provided.
Upon receiving all necessary documents, a comprehensive application package will be prepared.
Depending on the case's complexity, this may involve a formal submission letter or a detailed case file.
The goal is to present a well-organized, persuasive application that effectively supports the applicant's position.
Applications are submitted through the appropriate channels—online, via email, or by courier.
A complete record of the submission will be maintained for future reference.
After submission, official communication from immigration authorities will be monitored.
If additional information is requested, guidance will be provided on responding within the required timeframe.
If the application is approved, further steps may be required to finalize the status, and instructions on completing these formalities will be given.
In cases of delays, a status inquiry may be submitted to request an update.
